HARMONY OF CoLoRs.

Ii the family of eolors there are agree
ments and disagreements, concords and
dissonances, and what may be termed in
differentism, one or other of these qualities
being apparent when any two approach
each other. Often, as in many family
quarrels, there must be the Intervention
of a third party before harmony is estab-
lished between two colors. Thus, when
orange and crimson appear together, or
yellow and red, blue should be intro
duced; nor will blue and red consort well
unless yellow is introduced. Yellow har-
monies with black, green, chestnut,
brown, purple and crimson. Gold with
crimson makes rich harmony, and with
green or blue is invariably pleasing; it is
also capital associate with purple, scar
let, lilac, brown, lavender and black.
Blue agrees with scarlet, salmon color,
orange. chocolate, stone color, drab,
green, chestnut, purple, and is in concord
with white and black Orange and yell
low have good effect in artificial light;
orange harmonizes with chestnut, purple,
blue and green, and if associated with
crimson requires the introduction of blue;
orange and gold harmonizes by analogy.
Among disagreeable unions are purple
with either lilac, slate color, brown, stone
color, gray, pink, peach and chestnut

b ed.
And 10! the cats were coming from Other
directions, too-fIom the arid plains Of Kan
sas, and from Deer Trail, from Monotons
alter tank, and from the dreary confines
of Nebraska; the breeze blowing from the
water brought the noise Of vast armies oil
cats on their way from Laramie and Chey-
enne!
The cats already in the garden-how
they purred and writhed and yowled, and
how the sparks of electricity shot from
their furry backs as they rubbed affection
ately up against the catnip bushes. 1t was,
in fact, carnival, satuInalia of cats.
The judges said to himsef: Il will shoot
in among these trespassers and drive them
away. What right have they to devastate
my beauteous exotics ?''
But then came the second, bettert bought
Would it not be cruel to deprive these
creatures of the long-dened pleasure they
were now enjoying in the eatnip bed
Nome of them-save the old Maltese-had
ever before seen or tasted the precious
herb; they knew of it only from the legen-
Diary lore with which the old way-back
Maltese had RECALLED them, their mothers,
their fathers. their grandfathers, and so on
ad infnitum. How if he (the judge were

garden running over with this succulent
fruit? Would he not righteously consider
it cruel injustice to be driven remorseless-

The more Judge Toll thought it over and
the more he made the cats place his own,
the more he became satisfied that he ought,
in all humanity to let the cats stay and en-
joy the catnip. So at last he went back to
bed and renewed his slumber as best he

When the judge got up next morning and
looked out into his yard, not cat was to
be seen, nor yet vestige of the catnip
bushes either. The turf was widely rent
and torn up and every leaf, twlg, sprig and
root of catnip had disappeared. 1t was
eonjectured that the cats took it all away
with them. They must have had terrible

PROGRESSIVE OBSERVATION.
Boston Intellect Deyfses a New Social
Pasffme.

Progressive Observation" is the name
given to a new Boston game that has been
taken up with interest in social circles. 1t
has an advantage over donkey parties
and progressive euchre in that it teaches
something useful. The hostess provides
five tables, at which are seated four or five
persons, or even more if desired. Table
No I, or the ''head' table. represents the
sense of sight, the highest sense. Table
No. 2 is touch, No. 8 hearing, No. smell,
and No. ) taste.
There is a teacher for each table, and
the teacher is supplied with variety of
objects suited to the use of the table. For
instance, the teacher at the sight table
holds before each player in turn a collec-
ton of small objects on tray. and after
the lapse of half minute takes away the
tray and asks the player to name the arti-
cles. Or the teacher gives each person a
single article, and after short inspection
calls for answers to all the questions that
can be asked about it. Score is kept by
the teacher, and the player making the
least mistakes progresses to the next table.
At the close of the evening the player
who has made the most PROFESSIONS is
awarded the prize. The variety ofobjects for
the several tables is only limited by the
teacher ingenuity and the resources of
| the house. At the touch table the play
ers close their eyes and depend upon the
sense of feeling alone for their impressions
of the articles given them. This is not SO
easy as it may be supposed. For the
clearing" table a musical instrument may
be used and the test given on a note or
| glasses may be used in like way, the
player being asked to give the number of
particular sound which is given alone after
being struck in regular succession. For
the taste and smell tables the kitchen can
| be drawn upon, and such things as flour,
meal, powdered macaron corn starch,
| granum and others, whose taste and smell
in the raw state are either not very pro-
neunced or not familiar, are good for the
purpose.
The game is not so much Ike ''child's
play as may be thought. True, it had its
orig in in the plays of kindergarten, but,
concludes the Louisville Commercial, a.
developed and enlarged, the idea proves
very well adapted TO tine entertainment Of
grown people who are rational enough to
like little sense with their fun.

LIVING ON TIE WAGON POLE.

When Emerson said Hitch your wagon
to a star" he meant. of course, that the
wheels of the wagon should roll on earth,
but that the forces which pulled it along
should be higher and nobler than mere
worldliness. 1t was good thought ex-
celently expressed, and when carried out
it leads'to success. There are some people,
however, who in their efforts to hitch their
wagon to stars, elevate themselves on the
wagon poles until they reach convenient
clouds, upon which they crawiland spend
the rest of their lives midway between
heaven and earth. A man who passes
away his life in this suspended condition
is very curious character. He Is just
high enough up to look down with cold.
aristocratic condescension ON the rest OF
mankind, and he is just low enough for
mankind to see that he is only an ordinary
member of the human race. 1t is not
very graceful position, and the people are
generally disposed to criticise the man
occupying it; but the suspended gsnins,
dropped up by his inordinate. vanity and
blinded by the haziness OF his surroun-
dings, secs only himself, and imagines, like
Alexander Selkirk, he is monarch Of all
he surveys. All the time the people laugh
at his antics, ami the angels above, doubt
less, weep.

THE Truth BEAUTIFULLY TOLD.

A pleasant anecdote-and very sugges-
tive-is floating along the newspaper tide.
DR.. John Brown, of Edinburgh, well known
as the author of "Rab and His Friends, !"
is the subject of the story, which is given
by a correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle. DR.. Brown died in 1882, have
ing over-lved the limit of three score and
ten. lis friend, the celebrated Scotch
artist Daniel Macnee, four years his senior,
died in the same year In their old, age
MacDee painted a portrait of DR.. Browns
wife. The Doctor gazed upon the picture
in silence, until interrupted by fippant
youth, his nephew, who said: "a fine
picture; but don't you think, uncle, it
rather flatters the old lady?" The Doctor,
without Withdrawing his eyes from the
canvas, drew the young man towards him
and said; 'My boy, it is the truth, beau
tifully told
The thoughtlessness or unattended rude
ness of youth is common enough; and SO,
too is the gentle -ebuke of age. In the
boys case here, lmpertinence was reduced
to the lowest terms. In the Doctors
answer forbearance rose to the highest.
The man who could thus put affectionate
criticism into one epigrammatic sentence
must have been delightful companion.
All the recollections of his friends affirm
this.
The idea of ''the truth beautifully told"
should underlie all our estimates of char
acter. 1t is easy enough to find fault with
everything human. 1t is quite as easy and
much more pleasant SO to draw picture
that the shadows serve only to enhance
the light. All of us have our personal pc
culiarities, for which we expect liberation,
if not approval; and all should be ready to
concede to others what they require for
themselves. This brings out the truth
pleasantly told" If there must be an
exaggeration in our estimates, esteem in
favorable view is much happier than ex-
tremes in an unfriendly criticism.
There is nothing more amiable than =
tender aged couple. Everybody admits
this, and hence the general appreciation of
the quaint ballad, John Anderson, my
Jo." Loves young dream is very well in
its day; but it Is better il it grows old with
the lives of the dreamers. In the face of
age we may see the light of youth still
lingering, tempered by the gentle touch of
time; and when affection is the limner the
picture at sunset is reproduction of the
beauties of the dawn.

THREE PLUCKY BOYS.
What Two Young Americans Have
DOne-Dr. Schliemann's
Achievements.
Eugene Field

Pluck and perseverance and brains com
bined make success almost Inevitable
One young man from New York State, who
is now in the far Northwest, combines
originality with these other qualities. He
is newspaper proprietor, editor, reporter,
and entire printing force. Only % years
old, he has for the past four or five years
followed the railroad as it pushed west
ward through Dakota and adjacent terri
tories; at each mushroom town that
sprung up as the railroad progressed, he
would set up his press promptly, issue his
newspapers, and "boom'' it for few
weeks until purchaser appeared, pushing
on then to provide with news-medium
the next town. When he gets to the point
where Western progress meets the civiliza-
ton of the Pacific coast he will settle.
A Philadelphia youth of 81 was lately
employed in one of the great drygoods
stores of that city. Saving every cent
possible from his salary, he attended an
academy for while; when his money gave
out he served again in the store, then took
another session at the school. Then, be-
ing by this time we'll grounded in the
German language, he determined to try
his fortune in Germany. He soon collect
ed class of dozen Germa rs, and lately
has accepted an engagement to travel
through Europe for two years as tutor
with rich young German at $50 a year,
exclusive of all expenses.
Contrast with these two opening careers
the well-rounded and eminent one of a
German boy, as related by an exchange:
Years ago a German boy read of the
siege of Troy and made up his mind to
find the ruins of that ancient city. Troy
had persisted three thou sand years ago
if indeed, it ever existed at all. But, said
the little German, | will find it. Though
poor lad, shaving at work until bedtime,
he procured books and taught himself six
or seven languages. He pushed on and
prospered until as merchant he had made
a fortune. Every step of this study and
money making was taken with the aim of
fulfilling the vow of his boyhood. In due
time he started eastward with a company
of laborers, and for long, long years pur-
sued his search. At last he found Troy.
His discovery was sensation through all
Europe A few years ago the treasures of
gold, silver and bronze dug out Of the
palace of the Trojan king were exhibited
at South Kensington. For three thousand
years the buried ruins of that city had lain
covered with sand, and by many it was
regarded only as tabled creation of poetry,
but Dr. Schliemann. at his own expense,
and by his own amazing enterprise, proved
the discovery to the world.

THE OLD-FASHIONED GIRL.
Burdetfe Tells Why She is Giving
Place TO tine New.FashfOned Girl.

A professional jester, who is under con-
tract to grind out gfen amount of fun
and rideule and satire every week, is apt to
provide rather weak mental food for his
readers; but Robert Burdette is humor-
ist who frequently proves his possession of
goodly fund of hard common-sense.
Here is one of his latest deliverances in the
Brooklyn Ea9le: it is meaty and full of
suggestion;
Bless the old-fashioned girl says
Bishop. Heaven bless her and raise up
others like her. So say |, and so say all of
us, Bishop. But whose fault is it that
there are not more of her? Not Heavens
by a long chalk. Heaven isn't in the gov
erness and nursery business to-day any
more than it was when grandma nursed
her own children, this very old fashioned
girl among them. The old fashioned
girl, from all we hear of her, was para
gon of goodness aud common-sense when
she was girl, butch, sirs the falling
off o the goodlyn What kind of mother
did she make, that good people mourn so
sorely over the new-fashioned girl?
Heaven raise up others like her. Why
doesn't she raise up some like herself,
Bishop? The 'old-fashioned girl can't
turn her babies over, body, mind, and soul,
to an untaught savage that landed in Cas-
tie Garden with one change of linen and a
feather bed only six weeks ago, and expect
Heaven to raise up such children as her
mother did. Heavendoesn't take silent
partnership in that kind of firm. In
profitable servants that we are, we want
Heaven to do everything. The trouble
with the old-fashioned girl seemed to be
that she lacked staying qualities. She
started off well enough, but got skittish
about the distance pole, and, instead of
perpetuatIng her own kind, she raised
new fashioned girls Put that in your
pipe and smoke it, grandma. You and the
eYolutionists will have to solve this ques-
ton between you It's too deep for the
jester

LETTERS.

Snch a little thing-a letter,
Yet so much it may contain:
Written thoughts and mute expressions,
Full of pleasure, fraught with pain.
When our hearts are sad at parting,
Comes CLEAN of comfort bright
In the mutual promise given:
ave will not forget to write"
Plans and doings of the absent,
Scraps of news we like to hear,
All remind us, cen though distant,
Kind remembrance keeps us near
Yet sometimes single letter
Turns the sunshine into shade;
Chils our efforts, clouds our prospects,
Blights our hopes and makes them fade.
Messengers ofjoy or sorrow,
Life or death, success, despair,
Bearers of affections wishes,
Greeting kind or loving prayer
Prayer or greeting, were we present,
Would be felt but half unsaid;
We can write, because our letters
Not our litces-will be read
W ho has not some treasure letters,
Fragments choice of others lives:
Relics, some, of friends departed,
Friends whose memory still survives?
Touched by neither time nor distance,

Silent echoes of the past.

Mr.. Matthew Arnold was greatly struck
by this democratic government of our read
ing room when he was in Boston He
came in here one day and saw a little bare
footed newsboy sitting in one Of the best
chairs of the reading room, enjoying him
self apparently for dear life. The great
essayist was completely astounded SD
you let barefooted boys in this reading
room % he asked "You would never see
such a sight as that in Europe. l do not
believe there is a reading room in all Eu-
rope in which that boy, dressed as he is,
would enter" Then Mr. Arnold went over
to the boy, and foInd that he was reading
the "Lfe of Washington, and that he was
young gentleman of decidedly anti-Brit-
ish tendencies, and for his age, remarkably
well in formed.
Mr.. Arnold remained talking with the
youngster for some time, and as he came
back to our desk the great Englishman
said: 81 do not think that | have been
so impressed with anything else Ihave seen
since arriving in this country as | am now
with meeting this barefooted boy in this
reading room. What tribute to demo
cratic institutions it is to say that instead
of sending that boy out to wander alone in
the streets, they permit him to come in
here and excite his youthful Imagination
by reading such book as the Life OF
Washington The reading of that one
book may change the whole course of that
boys life, and may be the means of max
ing him a useful honorable, worthy citi-
zen Of This great country. 1t is, tell you,
sight that impresses a Europeon not ae-
eustnmed to your democratic ways. 49,
